Interface and Data Transfer Speeds
The TC-L52AN-EY Quantum 1.5TB/3TB LTO 5 SAS 6GB/S HH Internal Tape Drive is a high-performance tape drive that uses the LTO (Linear Tape-Open) technology. It is designed to be used as an internal drive in a server or other computer system.
The drive has a SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface and a data transfer speed of 6GB/s. This means that it can transfer data to and from the drive at a high speed, allowing for fast backups and data restoration. The drive also has a native storage capacity of 1.5TB and a compressed storage capacity of 3TB, meaning that it can store a large amount of data.
The “HH” in the product name stands for “Half-Height”, which refers to the physical size of the drive. Half-height drives are smaller in size than full-height drives and are designed to be used in space-constrained environments, such as small form factor (SFF) servers or workstations.
